We are pleased to announce the 2nd strategic workshop of the Fast! Society (France Aotearoa Science Technology and !nnovation).

The workshop will include contributions from key researchers, decision-makers and students involved in bilateral collaborations between France and New Zealand. This will help the Fast! community drive fruitful discussions on how to build on our past achievements to go forward. Many ideas need to be put on the table and discussed: kiwi and French experiences, overview of bilateral relations, student awards and other tools to support scientific collaboration, etc. The outcome of the workshop will be a draft strategy for 2019 which will enable us to look forward to a successful second year.

Everyone with an interest in the future of the society is strongly encouraged to join us. This is your chance to contribute to Fast!

For more information, please visit our website (http://www.francenzst.org/) or email us at francenzst@gmail.com.

The Fast! Annual General Assembly will be held at the same location at 2.30 pm.

Morning tea, lunch and afternoon teas will be provided for all participants.
